It has been said that the 2 happiest days is a boat owner's life are the day he purchases the boat and the day he sells the boat. Instead of fighting to sell your old junket, why not have the thought, "Maybe I should donate my boat to charity?"
BoatAngels.org handles all aspects of boat donations facilitating the process to donate boats for many many charitable organizations.
Here is a list of their approved charitable organizations. Boat angles helps a wide variety of charities from a geographically diverse population... As an both World of Grace Church and Mercy Ships on charities that benefit from Boat Angles.
So How does it work? From anywhere in the United States either call 1-800-227-2643 or fill out the form online at boatangel.org to get the process started... They send a receipt via email and a package via snail mail with the form and a disposable camera... Sign a form, take some pictures, and send the package back... Your boat will be listed at Charity Boat Sales (which might be a good place to look if you are in the market for a boat) and you boat will be picked up in 6-8 business days. How simple is that...
The whole operation is run by Angle Ministries...
My boat is brand new, but when it comes time to sell I will certainly consider donating my boat instead...
